When Eight Bells Toll (1971)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: col/scope 94m
Director: Etienne Périer
Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Robert Morley, Corin Redgrave, Nathalie Delon

Synopsis:

A Foreign Office agent goes after the culprits behind a series of ship disappearances in Scottish waters, the latest involving gold bullion.

Review:

Solid filming of the latest MacLean bestseller, the Scottish author here assaying a more obviously Bond-like formula. Hopkins is a touch of class in the Patrick McGoohan mould, and the locations are authentic enough, but the production cannot compete with the likes of Eon and the action elements fail to gather steam.
